Résumé : |
Ions such as magnesium and calcium play an important role in various biological functions. In the present study, we first visualized the distribution of calcium, potassium, sodium, and hydrogen ions in the human epidermis and examined the effects of skin barrier disruption. In normal skin, both calcium and magnesium were localized at a high concentration in the epidermal granular layer. The hydrogen ion was also high in the upper epidermis. Sodium did not show any obvious gradient over the epidermis. The potassium concentration was the lowest in the upper epidermis. After barrier disruption by tape stripping, the gradients of calcium, magnesium, ant potassium disapeared while the pH gradient was not altered. Topical application of an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride accelerated the barrier recovery after tape stripping. Topical application of magnesium chloride and calcium chloride was found to hasten the barrier recovery more effectively than a solution of magnesium chloride. The mixture of magnesium and calcium chloride improve the conditions for dry, scaly skin induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate. These results suggest that both magnesium and calcium play an important role in the skin barrier homeostasis and that these ions are effective in improving skin condition. |
